US President Joe Biden urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to reach a Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal, but Israel plans to keep troops in the Philadelphi Corridor. The US and Israel have differing views on the deal, with the US pushing for a total withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza, while Israel insists on securing its southern border. The conflict has resulted in over 40,000 deaths in Gaza, with the UN calling for a ceasefire.
